They shut down Splinter during the most important election of our lifetime and then they shut down Jez when their coverage of reproductive freedom could not be any more essential.

I thought this was Deadspin for a minute and wondered why there were comments.

The more interesting revelation is that Jezebel writer Kylie “buying almost everything my Instagram ads push down my throat” Cheung is wealthier than the Speaker of the House!

PLEASE make it clear when you’ve edited or updated a story!  I know there are seemingly bigger issues at hand, but this is journalism 101!

We have no idea if he was a harm to others. This is none of our business. Stop acting like you’re an expert on their family situation. Not sure why this has anything to do with you involving yourself with a homeless woman you didn’t even know. Family members have a different legal recourse than a complete stranger,…

Yeah, I don’t know when an intervention becomes a kidnap? If you had the resources to rescue/kidnap a kid from a bad situation wouldn’t you do it? I know you can take a horse to water etc etc, but if I thought my kid was heading back into a bad place I’d probably force them into rehab, too.

I get what you’re saying but let’s not forget how crazy intensely these two were being watched at the time.

Do we really need another Bundy based or Bundy adjacent related book?

Laura Bush is a former librarian and has a master’s in library science.

Thank you! If I told a funny story about a “Jessica” but changed her name to “Olivia” to keep her identity private but you were so thirsty for details that you tracked the real Jessica down and harassed her... that is some gross shit that is ALL on you, not me. Are we not allowed to tell stories anymore?

Ssshhhh!  Please don’t encourage Rich to write anymore than he already does.

What I’m asked when I’m on a trip: “Who’s taking care of the kids while you’re away?”
